Dinner time, 31st December 2010 ...
I was informed to join my boss for dinner ....
There it was, a bottle of Flor de Pingus 2003 ...
popped open .... awaiting to expose its wonderfulness ... big, deep, dark, dense, balanced
black fruit flavors to my novice palate ....
perfectly matched with a medium Wagyu Striploin ...
it was a perfect dinner, a great + pleasurable way
to end 2010 ....
